Disboutiquers Part 27 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[ncmomof2]

Love it all! You all look great for the Halloween party! Glad you had fun.

 

[Meshell2002]

Hi all! I know I havn't been on here posting a whole lot but I've been peaking and reading. Fall break will wind up this week and then I hope to make leaps of progress on my trip sewing. I finished my friends' adoption gift (didn't get a pic cause I finished it an hour before the baby shower )

love everything that's been posted....sorry TMTQ everything...a few things from the last few pages.

My computer is BACK FROM THE SPA!!!! WooHoo

Of course, now that I can multi-quote again, I got so used to NOT quoting that I forgot this time

I sat down and "mapped out" my sewing for Disney. I just wanted to pop on here and then I'm off to pull out the actual fabrics and iron everything so that I can cut tomorrow after work.

I also have to cut out and sew Finn's Halloween costume. . .

But just wanted to pop over and say Hi

I'm trying to figure out my priorities too, at the rate I'm going I'm thinking DS may not get a Flynn Rider outfit, since he already has a halloween costume (RTW someone bought him batman for his bday), and other than WDW, I don't know when he would want to wear it....so I'm working on trip t"s as my priority

Looks to be the perfect size! And love your iron balusters! I would so love those on our front staircase, but I think we have about 100 posts and that would get very pricey!


Awesome as usual! I am glad you are doing much better now. It was very generous to still contribute to the gives while you were recovering. However, I saw the latest that you posted on the BG board and I'm so happy you are back in full swing b/c your work is outstanding.


Breathe. And I thought I had it bad in the next two weeks, but it looks like you are doomed for two months! Don't overdo it though -- I took outfits with us that my kids never got a chance to wear. I was actually most fortunate that my dh was gone for two months so I was able to do very late night sewing before our trip (when he's home I dare not stay up late and sew!). So take advantage of your dh not being around in this case -- of course I know that does nothing for help with the house and child care, etc.

I am sorry you are dealing with stresses with happenings in your friend's lives. It's important to remember you can't control what is going on and friends often just need the support of a listening ear. Sad though when those you care about are having troubles and I am the same way -- I let things weigh on me. I even get that way with BG families that I don't even know. I'm stressed right now thinking about Lisa being sick right before her trip.

And I'm super sorry you are feeling car sick -- maybe it's just the extra stress you've been enduring. Any chance you could get away for a little "me" time? Even if me time means just going shopping by yourself or for a long walk by yourself for an hour or two? My saving grace is the time I have when the kids are in school and I know with home schooling you just don't have that time alone.


So cute! Adore the applique!


Truly awesome! Your children are adorable


I agree with Teresa. I recommend something that has a 5x7 hoop and the Brother PE 770 is just that at a decent price. When I bought mine Overstock only had refurbished ones so be careful of that -- I do not recommend getting something refurbished. My dh bought mine from Amazon and I know it was less that $650. I absolutely LOVE my machine and am so sorry I didn't get it sooner. I was terrified of it at first, and it turns out to be a breeze to use. I asked a lot of questions here when I first got mine and everyone helped me immensely.



Looks adorable on!


QUESTION??????
I had to buy costume satin for the kids Halloween costumes this year and I'm terrified of it. First, I forgot to look at washing instructions -- am I safe just washing on a hand washing cycle and light tumble dry? I'd love to not wash it, but dd has very sensitive skin and I hate all the crap in dyes and get grossed out not prewashing things.

Second, will serging after sewing hold it together fine or do I need to do french seams? I would prefer to sew and serge, but I'm not interested in the fabric coming undone either.

And I would like to inform you all that my Joann's does NOT have the flag ornament fabric. I was actually looking for something for a BG and that would have worked. Now hoping Wally world has something that Joann's and Hancock's does not.

I'm afraid I have more ideas than days at WDW so I am cutting myself off for that reason you said....our trip is only 5 days, but I'm not complaining....DH is frugal and I manage to squeeze a trip out of him every 2 yrs (this coming from a man that is learning to like disney but he's not a nut about it like me) I'd rather not explain why the kids needed 2-3 outfits per day

Another friend of mine bought something refurbed from Amazon and had issues w/ it too. I bought my serger refurbed from allbrands.com and it has been perfect, the have great CS too.

As far as the costume satin goes I know I washed mine in the machine last year on cold, and dried it on delicate/ low before I cut it out, it shrank a little bit....after the costume was made I have machine washed it and line dried it.

I typically do 4 thread overlock when I piece satin, and stress points need reinforcement....like underarm area on sleeves and maybe where the bodice of a dress meets the skirt. The crotch area of pants would need to be reinforced (though I havn't made any pants with satin..its a guess)

Howdy all! We got back last Thurs. from our 9 day trip. We had a blast. The weather was perfect and no one got sick. It was more crowded than normal. I didn't see too many customs, in fact, I didn't see many people in Disney clothes period. I thought that was odd. I ran into 2 ladies from the board and my husband talked to someone else. That was fun!

Lots of pictures are coming so I will probably do two posts.

Day One: MK and Chef Mickey

Day Two: Epcot. We did the Visa thing and had a great time. Minnie loved the outfits so she did several poses with the kids. Her with the girls and the boys with Goofy.

Day three: MK DD2 was thrilled to see the Pooh characters at CP.

Day Four: Animal Kingdom Minnie was so excited about the outfits, she gave me a kiss and had me get in a picture

Day Five: 1900 PF and HS

Day Six: HS Buzz pouted because we did not have anything with him on. It was cute.

Thanks for looking!

Everything is pretty! your family is so photogenic!

Hi everyone!

Just back from 6 amazing days at WDW and I'm hopelessly behind. We surprised my kids at 3:30 in the morning and they were SO excited. The weather was amazing save for the last day when it poured on & off (and had extended periods of sunshine as well.) I even had a chance to meet a Disboutiquer in line for IASW! WeLuvDizne recognized the outfit my DD was wearing and introduced herself...it was so sweet. She and her family were lovely and it was a pleasure meeting her.

WTMTQ but I am loving all the new outfits posted. Just wanted to show you a few of the customs in action....we got so many compliments from CMs, characters, and guests! The kids loved the attention!

Picture overload ahead...

Beautiful pics! All the outfits look fabulous! I love your Minnie Dot and DH's tie and suspenders. Where does your dd get such blonde hair from?! Our ds was like that as a toddler but my dh has blondish/ light brown hair and ds is now brown haired (except for his blonde birthmark patch).

Here is the rest...

The girls got to dance with Cinderella and Prince Charming at 1900 Park Fare!

We had a great time and I booked for next year with the bounceback offer. My parents are coming next year so the kids are excited!

Yay! You got everything done and it all looks awesome! I didn't know you were sewing for yourself and your dh as well. Thanks for sharing the photos and I'm so glad to hear you got great character interaction/appreciation.

My name is Andrea and I am a fabric hoarder. I will not buy anymore fabric until I use up enough of my stash to be able to store it properly.

Exceptions:
Anything needed for Halloween costumes.
Anything needed for special events (and I have full say in what is considered a special event)
Good clearances like the cuts I got at Wally's today for $1/yd (never mind I now have 20 extra yards of fabric without a purpose in mind)
Remnant bin fabrics are always allowed
Good sales are not to be passed up
Anything I might need to make items for myself is allowed since I so rarely make something for myself

OK, how about this, I will not buy any more fabrics for BGs -- I will only sign up for items in which I am able to use up my stash. Ahhh, that sounds much better.

 

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone!

Im home sick with the stomach bug today - ick - I hope it passes quickly!!

Love all the vacation pics - those kids are so CUTE!!!

I was just going over Owen's Big Give sign up sheet, and was wondering if anyone would like to do family wish shirts for the 4 of them, or bottoms for the kids (Owen, Kamryn) for their Crystal Palace outfits? Also, any jewelry makers out there anymore????? Thanks for thinking about it!!

 

[ellenbenny]

Hi everyone!

Picture overload ahead...

Day 7: Magic Kingdom

I narrowed the pictures in order to quote, but I can't pick a favorite, everything looks amazing and your kids (and you and DH) are all adorable! Great job and it looks like so much fun!!

Day Six: HS Buzz pouted because we did not have anything with him on. It was cute.

Thanks for looking!

Once again, everything is amazing, gorgeous family too! I saw you at EPCOT one day and said hello quickly in passing.

My mother made me an autograph quilt when I was in high school. It wasn't Disney - it was my friends and family. They signed it with markers and then she chain stitched over all their signatures. It was a lot of work on her part but it is highly treasured by me. I have the actual signatures of teachers, friends, and family - some of who are no longer with us. I also wouldn't create a quilt with just the markers as they tend to fade over time.

I made a picture quilt for my nephew when he was little. I took pictures of the people who loved him (pictures with him of course). I thought he'd have it when he wasn't feeling well, or just down.

here's a picture of my sweet dgd Chloe in her Carrie Ingalls halloween dress...i took it to work/school and tried it on her and took a picture and let her show it off to the other teachers,while we were in my dd's class { Chloe's in pre-k 1,Brendi in pk2 and me down the hall in pk3!] a lil girl said " she looks like a sheep!" we were like 'what?' then our 4 year old brain kicked inand we said " Little Bo Peep!"hehe..kids...[/

i spent 3 hours cutting out the twins dresses & bonnets! man oh man my shoulders hurt! check out the untied shoe,i had rolled her jeans up under the dress...

So adorable!!

What brand Fabric Markers do you use and how long/high do you iron on freezer paper?

This is ages old, but I used a Disney coloring book. Ironed on the Freezer paper, just seconds will do, to make the fabric stiff. Held it up to the window and traced the picture. My mistake was using a sharpie. All the panels heat pressed fine, except the one right in the front!! ran some. But she quickly outgrew it.

You'll probably be okay just serging the seams after sewing. If you wash the fabric tho', be sure to serge the raw edge before washing. Otherwise you'll have a huge fray mess.

Day 7: Magic Kingdom

I love everything! I can't even pick a favorite. What luck to have a hubby that will wear matching customs!

Thanks for looking!

Love it all!!!!

hello ladies I am am working on making and selling hair bows with 100% going to make a wish I am wondering in any of you would be willing to send my your fabric scraps I am using 3 in and 2 in semi circles and only need 3 half circles for the bows. I cut out 3 semi circles out of 2 different fabrics to equal 6 petals in the 2 different sizes so pretty small scraps are awesome. I will try to post a pic of a sample of the bow. Some one can tell me if they might work for big gives too.

Andrea It is okay. I am a fabric hoarder too. We can get through this together. We only get to buy what we "NEED". Special occasions, halloween, christmas, easter, valentines (okay any holiday), fabric for the kids, fabric for me, fabric for quilts, fabric that screams "BUY ME" while I am in the store or any other fabric that I may need now or anytime in the future is okay to buy. We are only not allowed to buy fabric for.......... I can not think of a single reason not to buy fabric I am sorry. Where is it we need to show up for these meetings. Oh I know when I am not suppose to buy fabric. It is when I trade for fabric, that's it.

 

[billwendy]

here are samples of the bows

Those are so pretty!! Im sure they'd be loved for big gives!!! you could make them to coordinate with outfits others make!!!



I am so sick!!! I feel like Im burning up, but cant drink or eat anything or else I throw it up!!!! My stomach is in a million knots!!!!! I have to get better quick!! I have to do a lecture on Autism and sensory needs on Friday afternoon - say a prayer for me if you could!!!!

Here is the rest...

Day Seven: MK We ate at Ohana that night so I didn't get good group shots.

Day eight: Epcot These outfits got alot of attention. They do scream Disney

Day Nine: MK and 1900 Park Fare

The girls got to dance with Cinderella and Prince Charming at 1900 Park Fare!

We had a great time and I booked for next year with the bounceback offer. My parents are coming next year so the kids are excited!

Great pics and beautiful outfits! Gorgeous kids and lovely family!

 

[PurpleEars]

Your contributions look great! I am glad that you are mostly recovered from your illness! The dress and the jewelry rolls are really nice. I like how you embroidered the names on the jewelry rolls. I especially love the little hats.

Thanks. I still have my up and down days but on the whole I am doing much better. I had an awful day yesterday but thankfully it was a holiday so it didn't impact work.

Still haven't been able to start sewing for our trip (yes, the one in my ticker, yes, I know I'm in trouble) DH has been working so much and I've been dealing with so many upsetting things in friends lives, and add to that I feel like I'm carsick 75% of the time (and no, not pregnant)... I don't know how to get it all done...

Ok! Pity party for 1, your table is ready for you to wake up and get on with it...

Let's see, how many outfits?
Day 1: 2 outfits each boy, 1 "me made" outfit= 5
Day 2: 2 outfits for the three of us= 6
Day 3: 2 outfits for each IF we do MVMCP, 1 each if not, but to be safe= 6
Day 4: 1 outfit each = 3
Day 5: 2 outfits each = 6
Day 6: 1 outfit each unless I come up with something for Garden Grill = 3
Day 7: 1 outfit each = 3
Grand Total = 32 ( if I did my math correctly )

Sorry to hear that your life has been crazy. I am sure your family will still have a good time even without all the planned outfits. Just think - most families seem to manage even though they don't have a single custom!

We have the Minnie and the ariel we got the minnie last fall it has a really cute tank top I dont think the dots are as big as they look on those skirts my gd got the gloves and shoes and she had some really cute pictures at the studio.

Very cute!

i did this tee and dress for my dgc Jackson & Avery...due to family issues { their mom is nuts } we haven't seen them since Easter...but i still made them Disney customs { they were suppossed to go the same week we did but at different resort ,no idea if they went}.got them school clothes andJackson b'day gifts,all packed up in case i ever get to give them to them...i have recently discoiverd they moved and on oh my route to/from work! so i may box up all ther things i have and drop them on the driveway while she's gone to take the kids to school...or something...i miss my g'babies so badly they are 6 & 4,saw Avery the other day withher mom who was trying to get past me as fast as she could,Avery peekd at me around her mom,then ducked back like she was afraid...no telling what she has been told..i just wanna grab them up and love on them! anyway i made them these for the fall...i fear she may just throw them all away but that's on her....anyway here they are...

thank you for looking

Sorry to hear about your family situation. The outfits are beautiful. I hope the children will get a chance to wear them!

I am trying to find out the best way to get the autographs on the quilt blocks that my husband's aunt has so graciously agreed to turn into a quilt for my DS5.

So far I have White and Black Fabric as I though a silver sharpie on the black fabric would look awesome.... but will it last? If I iron it after signing?

What Fabric pens have you ladies used in the past?

I have read something about ironing freezer paper to the squares? Heat setting?

I was going to use embroidery hoops so I can set up a few squares at a time, but then read about using a small clipboard and that seemed way better.

I also plan on getting photopaper when we return and printing off some squares with pictures of the family with the charactures.

I have now wasted sooooo many hours going through like thread 24-27 my house is falling into disrepair!!!!!! Any help with these questions and any other tips and tricks you can think of would be greatly appreciated!!!

( I also read about lonely banana's

Thank you all

I embroidered my signature quilt. I guess somehow it was different as I personally collected the signatures, digitized them, and embroidered them. The quilt is on the bed now and it makes me smile every day I get up!

I just got back and now have pictures of my twins in their outfits that were inspired by the many wonderful people here.

here is Minnie pillowcase dress with matching bow and retro Mickey.

and his Donald hat that was a hit!

Great pictures! Look like your family had a great time!

I am not sure if this will be seen since this is such a busy thread but I am hoping someone can help me. I just did my first applique last night with my regular machine and after that I am now interested in embroidery machines. Can someone give me a suggestion for one (or some) that are beginning friendly and not going to put me in the poor house. Also, if you could share where you all get your files from to embroider onto the clothing (all the disney related things)? Thanks!

I have a Brother 270D (about 5 years old at this point). I got it new from Amazon at around $300 as it was around the time they stopped making them. It only does 4x4 so I do find it limiting from time to time, especially when I do adult sized clothing frequently. Having said that, that machine is a workhorse and I haven't had significant problems with it. The hoop is broken but I taped it together for now. I would like to upgrade, but it will have to wait until our mortgage is paid off.

My mother made me an autograph quilt when I was in high school. It wasn't Disney - it was my friends and family. They signed it with markers and then she chain stitched over all their signatures. It was a lot of work on her part but it is highly treasured by me. I have the actual signatures of teachers, friends, and family - some of who are no longer with us. I also wouldn't create a quilt with just the markers as they tend to fade over time.

That is a very sweet thing your mom did. I am sure it is a very special quilt for you and your family!

Awww, thanks for your kind words Andrea. I truly enjoy sewing and I am glad I can share my hobby in such a meaningful way.

I think the costume stain I worked with in the past was fine through the wash and dry. My sister picked it out for a semi-formal dress and asked me to make the dress for her. It has been a couple of years now so I can't remember if I pinked or serged the edges prior to washing. I know I did one or the other. I just serged the seams. I have no idea if my sister actually wore that dress or not, since we don't live in the same city.

Ack, speaking of which, I still need to make my mom's dress. My parents had been talking about taking a cruise and my mom would like a dress made for a formal night (I think?). I bought this beautiful fabric last year and I had her measurements since January. I just hadn't been motivated to work on it yet. I think it has something to do having to draft a pattern since my mom is between sizes.

My name is Andrea and I am a fabric hoarder. I will not buy anymore fabric until I use up enough of my stash to be able to store it properly.

Exceptions:
Anything needed for Halloween costumes.
Anything needed for special events (and I have full say in what is considered a special event)
Good clearances like the cuts I got at Wally's today for $1/yd (never mind I now have 20 extra yards of fabric without a purpose in mind)
Remnant bin fabrics are always allowed
Good sales are not to be passed up
Anything I might need to make items for myself is allowed since I so rarely make something for myself

OK, how about this, I will not buy any more fabrics for BGs -- I will only sign up for items in which I am able to use up my stash. Ahhh, that sounds much better.

Andrea, where do I sign up for the "Fabric Horder Anonymous(e)" club? Will you ship a membership card across the border?

I have been trying to use up fabric in my stash for BG's, but it is hard sometimes. Urgh, I should not look at the Fabricland flyer! They have Disney prints at 60% off! Must...resist...going...there!

I am so sick!!! I feel like Im burning up, but cant drink or eat anything or else I throw it up!!!! My stomach is in a million knots!!!!! I have to get better quick!! I have to do a lecture on Autism and sensory needs on Friday afternoon - say a prayer for me if you could!!!!

Praying for a quick recovery!


DH and I had a busy day today. We came home from work, had supper, and made 7 apple pies! My hands are now so soft (from the shortening) and they smell wonderful (from the cinnamon). DH was a super helper by coring and slicing the apples. These pies are destined for the freezer since we only get nice apples a few weeks a year. We are having guests on Saturday so at least I will get to have a piece of pie then!

you Guys are SO LUCKY that you could get you MEN/ Hubbies to wear Custom/matching shirts..OMG my hubby would

Andrea It is okay. I am a fabric hoarder too. We can get through this together. We only get to buy what we "NEED". Special occasions, halloween, christmas, easter, valentines (okay any holiday), fabric for the kids, fabric for me, fabric for quilts, fabric that screams "BUY ME" while I am in the store or any other fabric that I may need now or anytime in the future is okay to buy.

Oh I know when I am not suppose to buy fabric. It is when I trade for fabric, that's it.

I just told Wendy tonight that I had to decide if I could unhoard a fabric. I have it a long time, bought it with nothing particular in mind, was thinking of using it before she mentioned something that would match it perfectly yet still not sure I can bring myself to use it!

hello ladies I am am working on making and selling hair bows with 100% going to make a wish I am wondering in any of you would be willing to send my your fabric scraps I am using 3 in and 2 in semi circles and only need 3 half circles for the bows. I cut out 3 semi circles out of 2 different fabrics to equal 6 petals in the 2 different sizes so pretty small scraps are awesome. I will try to post a pic of a sample of the bow. Some one can tell me if they might work for big gives too.

Can you PM so I can find you when I gather up scraps! I just tossed some tonight because I get tired of keeping little pieces. I am sure they would work for you.

[babynala]

Sorry, I am so far behind. I have skimmed thru and looked at all the great pictures from the parks, etc. I have been busy sewing for our trip to which my DH has commented "you're not making shirts for everyday in the parks are you?" Of course not, I was planning to but ran out of time. I have almost everything done that I need to do except make some shorts for my son and a bag for me. Hopefully I can get it all done before Saturday but my son is turning 7 tomorrow so I need to bake a cake, buy gifts, wrap and make a special dinner. Still need to finish up the autograph books, clean the car, cut the grass and PACK! I'll be sure to catch up when I get back.
